Justin and I are dog-sitting for a friend who went out of town for the weekend. Meet Pugsley and Wednesday, two five month old pug puppies. I don’t know who’s having more fun with them, Tilley or the kids.

Pugsley (left) and Wednesday (right). They wiggled too much to get a clear picture.

Pugsley was a little more timid than Wednesday. Tilley seemed to know this and played more gently with him. After a while Pugsley started teasing Tilley and got more comfortable.

The Houston area was under a flash flood watch warning and it rained buckets all day. My backyard is now a swimming pool. Not that this stopped anyone from going outside. Hannah, Connor and all three dogs splashed through puddles, Tilley shepherding the puppies around the yard.

I wouldn’t eat off my kitchen floor right now. It’s covered in water and wet dog hair, but I think fun was had by all.

If you ever need a happiness boost get yourself an armful of squirming puppy. Instant smile.

Today’s silver lining: A rainy Saturday never stopped anyone from having fun.

What’s your silver lining today? I love comments!

Your hair is coming in really good even if it is a different color. Looks like ya’ll were having a good time exercising and dog sitting. I’ve never had crawfish but I wouldn’t mind trying them since I like most seafood. I guess I have to come visit so you can take me to that restaurant.
